HEY GUYS YES I AM STILL ALIVE! and I have some important news to talk to you about. And maybe a favor to ask of!
About 3 weeks ago I got to hear what might have been the greatest news of my life and a childhood's dream come true. and since I have been sharing it with everyone on tumblr, fasten your seatbelts for an UPDATE.
First, lemme start with some basics about what's been happening in my life.
Around august I started an internship in a reptile zoo here in the Netherlands. Reptiles have basically taken over my life so working with venomous and giant snakes and lizards has probably been the greatest situation I could have found myself in. I have also started volunteering at the animal ambulance (commonly known as the RSPCA) and I now have an ambulance in front of my door and I run the morning shifts. I'm saving lives!
BUT ONTO THE MAIN COURSE...
So yes 3 weeks ago I got a call from my nephew who lives in New Zealand. It was totally abrupt and I had no idea why he would call me since we're barely in contact anymore. The thing is, he offered me a job at the dairy farm he works at. At first a temporary job, but if I prove to be helpful I might come to live there permanently. THAT'S RIGHT.
THIS SACK OF POTATOES IS GOING TO LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND.Now to be 100% honest, ever since I was 3 years old I haven't been able to shut up about New Zealand and I've made countless of attempts to go there over the years, but I have always lacked the money or the time to go there. So I had given up on the dream.
Luckily, at the time my nephew called, I had been saving up some money for God knows what purpose. So there I was. I was offered a dream job, in a dream country, with a dream loan. And this is actually going to happen, because I have booked my one-way ticket already, thanks to those savings.
I'm gonna be living there for 6 months at first. Working conditions on the farm are great and I will have a lot of free time. I really want to make the most out of my 6 months there because I might or might not return there as a permanent resident.
So
I have opened unlimited commissions.
Yes, I still draw! Quite a lot actually. Most of my drawings have been lost in the dephts of tumblr and I have forgotten to upload them all here. I'm gonna try to be a little bit more active over here too.
If you are interested in helping me ascend to Middle-Earth, I have my commission info over here:

If my goal is worthy to be shared, ofcourse. All money I'm saving through commissions will be used to buy my return ticket and to accommodate me while I am there. It's not necessary money, but an extra at least! My nephew is planning on taking me onto Mt. Cook so I'd like to buy some hiking gear too.
Know that if you commission me, I will be thinking of your username and icon as I ascend off the plane into my new existence *sheds a tear* absolutely beautiful.
SEEYA! :>
